| | AFROL Background - Fighting Female Genital Mutilation in Africa |
| | Female genital mutilation, the name given to a number of traditional practices that involves the partial or total excision of female genitals, are practiced in 28 African countries, as well as other regions of the world. | | | A negative reaction to the enactment of laws on female genital mutilation was in the Sahel region of Ghana, she says. | | | The United Kingdom used an integrated legal approach to deal with the practice of female genital mutilation, which was considered a form of child abuse and could be used as the basis for State intervention to safeguard a child's welfare. |

| | Female genital mutilation in Britain |
| | In Britain female genital mutilation is regarded as a form of child abuse, though this term should not be used when discussing the procedure with families as it would be greatly resented. | | | Female genital mutilation tends to be considered mainly from the woman's point of view and has become identified as a feminist issue. | | | Female genital mutilation is supported and encouraged by men; indeed the operation can be regarded as an exercise in male supremacy and the oppression of women. |

| | Hope for our Sisters: Ending Female Genital Mutilation, Khader ProutWorld |
| | “The psychic and physical mutilations that women in the West undergo are equally devastating: unwanted hysterectomies, endless face-lifts, liposuction, bulimia, anorexia, silicone breast implants — all in the pursuit of youthfulness and an ever-changing notion of the ideal woman.”12 Western nineteenth-century medical texts encouraged genital mutilation as an accepted treatment for nymphomania, hysteria, and masturbation. | | | Before exploring this new rite in any detail, it is important, here, to place female genital mutilation in its proper context, to define its various forms, and to delineate its damaging physiological, psychological and human health components. | | | This precise psychology is behind a new approach that deals with female genital mutilation (FGM) in Kenya and Uganda. |
